"These plants are so cute when you have little pygmy corydoras perching on them to rest. It really helps build depth in the tank too, at least in the midground!"
"Plants arrived super healthy with vibrant color I can’t wait to order more. 10/10 will be ordering from Buce again!!"
"The plant arrived in great condition and lush and green. I was able to split it up nicely and so far they are doing great. It also arrived a day early than expected."
"Doing great so far. Been in the tank for a couple weeks and had no melt at all"
"I received the tissue culture, but it looked like the lid was opened and then closed back up with some flimsy plastic wrap around the top. The gel was all broken apart and mixed in with the upper parts of the plant. And it did not look like a full tissue culture cup. I suspect someone opened this up prior to shipping and took a few stems. Some of the leaves at the top look brown and damaged. But hopefully, the rest of the plant will make it."
"Looks healthy portion is great! I am growing it emersed so hopefully it will be stunning"
"Those are fresh plants."
"The plants arrived fresh and crisp; doing extremely well in my 3.4 gallon tank"
"generous portion, super healthy, looking good in my tank so far. undemanding plant."
